I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Petersham. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just had a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as usual because all rents and maintenance payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
